For Hegel, which one of the following is Not correct?
AHis ideas reflect the most evolved form of German Idealism
BThe rational is real and the real is rational
CContradictions are not obstacles preventing us from reaching truth
DRight is preferred over the common Good ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) Right is preferred over the common Good — It is wrong, for Hegel, to prefer individual right over the common good.
Explanation
★It is wrong, for Hegel, to prefer individual right over the common good.
★Hegel gives the common good and the ethical life of the state priority over abstract individual right.
★The state, as the realisation of reason, embodies a higher ethical unity than the single person.
★His philosophy is indeed the most developed form of German idealism.
★His famous saying is that the rational is real and the real is rational.
★For him contradictions are not mere obstacles but the very motor that drives thought toward truth.
★So only the priority of individual right over the common good misstates Hegel.
